Cascal was a line of soda pops made from fermented fruit juices and herbal ingredients created by Coca-Cola in 2009. The drink was meant to be a dry, or lightly-sweetened soda that would stake out a middle ground between over-sweetened soda and fine-flavored wines. The drink was sold in cans in 2011, but disappeared to the Island of Forgotten Flavors the following year.

Review

A frothy drink with a yeasty malt aroma. A crisp apple flavor with notes of black currant first hits the tongue, but it disappears quickly, leaving a sour malt flavor behind. It's got a complex earthy flavor but still a light-tasting beverage.

Not a strong-flavored drink, or excessively sweet. Other than the first sip it's kind of watery. The malt flavor makes it similar to Laziza or Fayrouz Apple, a bit like a non-alcoholic beer but with a less-strong malt beer flavor.

Most of the fizz is gone after the first few minutes. Probably could use a little more carbonation to keep this drink going, but less carbonation makes it taste more like a naturally-carbonated yeast drink, I suppose.
